Subsequent letters contained closer communication and action plans.
This includes how to use the pretext of exercises to redeploy troops; how to incite the anger of the samurai and make them willing to go to the Land of Hot Water to demand an explanation; and the so-called vision for the future of the Land of Iron, as well as reforms to the samurai system.
"Shimura Danzo!!"
The ferocious words were uttered by Admiral Mifune.
Despite his unwavering belief in harmony, he has surprisingly displayed a murderous and hostile attitude!
Those letters, each word a gem, each sentence a scheme to strengthen the Iron Nation, were unconsciously crumpled into dry balls by him.
"Go, send men to retrieve their remains."
The old man Mifune used almost all his strength to say those words.
During his reign, the Land of Iron suffered such a great loss; he cannot escape blame.
Hearing this,
Chongjie remained motionless, his expression turning one of fear and despair.
"boom."
With a dull thud, the general, whose right forehead bore a horrific scar, slammed his head against the solid ground.
"Please forgive me, I am unable to do so."
"Because those comrades who died in foreign lands have not been found."
His sorrowful voice lingered in the room for a long time.
Chapter 389 Danzo's Repentance, All Guilt Imposed. [Happy Children's Day!]
No remains of the body.
【What does it mean? 】
Such a response pushed the atmosphere in the room to the brink of extreme danger.
Could it be?
Are their comrades who died abroad destined never to return home, forever destined to become wandering ghosts in foreign lands?
Upon hearing such terrifying remarks, Rikka immediately stood up without regard for etiquette and directly lifted up his companion who was kneeling on the ground.
His physique was even more robust and tall than that of Chosuke, with intimidating thick black eyebrows, which gave him an even more terrifying and ferocious appearance, especially when he was angry.
"What nonsense are you spouting, Chongjie!"
"Is it because we haven't experienced war for too long that we've become so disoriented!"
"Quickly apologize to the Commander-in-Chief and promise to bring all your companions back with you!!"
It roared from the corner.
Its towering physique, nearly two meters tall, resembled a giant northern bear standing upright and roaring.
He didn't believe it, he really didn't believe it!
He couldn't believe that the samurai legion that had been transferred had died in a foreign land, so he didn't mention the word "corpses" in his speech.
However, such words and such frenzied emotions only won Chongjie's slightly turned head.
Questions from peers
The anger of his companions
And aren't they also feeling the same way?
But that's the truth, the fact that has already been established.
Whether you believe it or not.
"Chongsuke, you bastard!"
How could Li Jiao accept such an attitude from his colleagues?
Even if that is the truth,
Then at least you should have said it more tactfully!
Or weave a white lie into the past.
After all, the general is getting on in years.
The young warriors in the country were like his own children, whom he had watched grow up little by little.
Many of them were personally instructed in swordsmanship by him.
How could the commander-in-chief possibly bear such bluntness?
but,
Tell me everything you have seen, word for word.
In a fit of grief and indignation, Admiral Mifune raised his eyes in hatred, his weathered eyes already bloodshot.
"General, this must be........."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiao was just about to say something, wanting to postpone the topic.
However, before he could finish speaking, another inviolable phrase rang in his ears.
"This is an order."
"Yes."
After a few moments of hesitation, he, as a guard, did as he was told, put down his companion, bowed, and sat back down in his seat.
After a brief pause, Okisuke, who was being watched, slowly recounted what he had seen.
........

of course,
Aside from the Land of Iron, which was already on the verge of madness, the unrest that had erupted within Konoha and Kumogakure was no less intense.
Especially the former,
Ultimately, this siege against the Land of Hot Water and the Lightning Brigade was secretly launched by those old foxes from Konoha!
"Has no message been sent back yet, your roots?"
Mitokado Yan anxiously adjusted his glasses, which were perched on the bridge of his nose, and asked with a restless expression.
This was already the umpteenth time in just one afternoon that she had been unable to contain her emotions and had asked this question.
It cannot be said that he, as an advisor, was becoming increasingly unable to hold on, but rather that the fact that thousands of elite warriors from the Land of Iron perished overnight on the border of the Land of Hot Water was simply too shocking to be true and caused people to feel fear.
Not only those gathered in the Hokage's office, but the entire village was also discussing this news in private.
Danzo Shimura did not respond to this.
Their silence is like that of a living dead person already in a coffin.
Of course, there is no doubt that they also want to know what exactly happened on that land last night.
However, the Root ninja loyal to him sent back the last update last night: "Having bypassed the border defenses of the Land of Hot Springs, they are about to infiltrate the main city of the Land of Hot Springs." Then, like the sea, they disappeared without a trace.
Faced with this situation, what can I say?
All we can do is wait, right?
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that there has been no news from the Land of Hot Springs about any Konoha ninjas or unknown infiltrators.
This likely means that the elite members of the Roots that were dispatched are still alive, but due to their current environment and the possible presence of some kind of sensory barrier, they are unable to transmit the message back smoothly.
Although Danzo knew that the possibility was very small, very small.
Because, following their orders, the root members carrying out missions outside would inevitably try every means to send out the message.
But what if?
Waiting is the only thing he can do now, since he has already dispatched almost all of his forces. His capable right and left hands, Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune, have been transferred to that important location to prepare for the hunt for Uchiha Ara.
Currently, only a few researchers, such as Shinobu, remain.
As for the next batch of root blood, it has not yet been fully cultivated.
Even promising talents like Shin and Sai cannot be considered true ninjas until they pass the final test.
At the same time, a question arose in my heart:
Did I underestimate this operation?
[Do they really think they can stop the invasion from the Root with a little-known 'Lightning Swarm'?]
However, if dispatching six highly trained elite squads can be considered a sign of disrespect, then what would be considered a sign of seriousness?
Regarding that emerging power,
Danzo truly believed he had given it enough attention, yet he had only achieved a passive result so far.
"Hiruzen, what are you even saying?!"
"Any new discoveries from the Dark Division?"
"Could it be that Uchiha Ara has already quietly left the village, which is why the Land of Iron suffered losses?"
"If he were here, with the power of Susanoo, it wouldn't be too surprising that those samurai who had no agility would be defeated or even wiped out."
"Yes, that must be the case!"
Mitomon continued to speculate.
When he truly experienced the terror of Uchiha Ara and imagined the consequences of letting him continue to grow unchecked, he, who had not shown much excitement in the past, finally could not suppress his worries and let them burst forth all at once.
Ultimately, no one can truly remain calm and composed when faced with threats to their own position or interests.
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi merely glanced at his two colleagues who were called advisors, but did not respond.
After all, it's these two who should be the ones reporting.
